Guest W. Watson Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I've been getting a fair number of supposed greeting cards of late. I don't open them, since they don't say who sent them. Is this a new way to send viruses? -- Wayne Watson (Nevada City, CA) Web Page: <speckledwithStars.net> Quote

Guest W. Watson Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks. I should have asked the same question about PDFs too. I've been getting one a day of late. No body, but with an attachment.

Guest W. Watson Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Yes, true, but sometimes a phone works wonders, as I've found out on a number of occasions. :-) Malke wrote: > W. Watson wrote: >> Thanks.
